When Spring resident Jason O' Leary ran toward the screams he heard coming from the Chase bank off Champion Forest Drive Nov. 25, he had no idea he was running toward a bank robbery.

When he rounded the corner and reached the bank, he was greeted by $250,000 worth of cash flying through the air.

"We ran out of the house thinking maybe there was a car accident and somebody could have been hurt or maybe needed our help," O'Leary said. "When I got there I saw that truck driving off and the money was still flying in the air."

Rather than trying his luck at taking some of the cash for himself, he and his girlfriend called the police and tried to gather up as much of the cash as possible to return to the bank.

O'Leary said he and his girlfriend told police they witnessed a Ford truck dragging a chain behind it, and then another silver sedan followed after it. O'Leary said officers told him they think the robbery was a "smash and grab" attempt, where one vehicle is used to dismantle the ATM and a second person waits to grab the money in another car.

"So another person would've come and grab all the money and they would have split," O' Leary said. "The cars were stolen....the officers found the truck down here dropped off somewhere in the neighborhood."

O'Leary said they knew it was $250,000 in cash because the officers told him ATMs carry that amount at one time. He said he still hasn't received a thank you or a reward from the bank, but is glad to have helped.

"Everyone is like, don't you think you deserve a reward, but I was like 'It would be nice, but I am not going to stress about it,'" O'Leary said. "They haven't called us and said 'Hey thank you guys,' or nothing. But if it happens, it happens if it doesn't, it doesn't."

The investigation is still pending. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
